Dole and Gramm both have strong organizations and the ability to raise money. Gramm is loaded, with $5 million left over from his Senate campaign. The conservative Texan, who used his money to organize victories in recent straw polls in Louisiana and Arizona, plans to announce his candidacy officially in two weeks. Dole, with $2 million, has opened a Washington office and begun to hire some well-known pros.
